Jaw Surgery Recovery And Results

Your surgeon will instruct you on how to navigate your recovery. You will make dietary changes and practice specific oral hygiene. You can manage the pain with over the counter painkillers. As for returning to your basic routine, you will need 3 weeks of rest before going back to work. 

Your jawbone will heal after 6 weeks and you might need braces after this for complete alignment. But results of the surgery will be instantaneous.

Materials For Dental Implants

1. The Root And Abutment

Both the root and abutment are always made of titanium. This is because titanium is the best material for fusing with the jawbone. 

2. The Crown

The crown can be constructed from a versatile range of materials. The most efficient and natural looking are zirconium and porcelain. But they cost a fair amount. 

Metal is a cost efficient option with high durability and strength but contrasts the natural hues of teeth. 

You can opt for a metal-infused crown for natural looking results and reduced costs but it doesn’t out-rival other options in terms of durability. 

All resin crowns offer minimal advantages in exchange for their low costs. They’re not natural looking and cannot carry out natural teeth functions.
